    Serious topic and opinions welcomed. For me i liked the pilot much more then i expected, the critics raved about it...but it flopped, hard. Is it the basic premise?....bigamist conman?, or is it just not entertaining?

    On the wrong channel, day or time?....suited to cable?, stupid Americans?

    Lets try and get some answers.

    Is this the reason right here?

    Mr Killen, Here’s the problem with your show. Americans are hurting. No one wants to see con men conning people out of money, especially when you add a scene where the con father/son con a hard working man probably out of the last of his savings. No matter who people are in the earnings sphere, in these tough economic times no one wants to see people loose their life savings and/or retirement. THe second reason, women really don’t want to see a man with two wives. Tacky, and hurtful to women. THis is why your show doesn’t work. Wrong time, wrong country.
